Types of Kitchen Knives - Visual Guide to Essential Blade Shapes #3820182 (License: Personal Use)

The image displays four classic kitchen knife silhouettes against a white background: a chef’s knife with a curved blade for rocking cuts, a heavy rectangular cleaver for chopping through bone and dense vegetables, a long slender slicing knife for thin, even cuts of meat, and a serrated bread knife designed to saw through crusty loaves without crushing them. Each handle features three rivets, suggesting traditional full tang construction. The stark black-and-white contrast emphasizes blade shape and function over material or brand details.

This image is commonly used on culinary education sites, kitchen equipment guides, or e-commerce product category pages to help users visually distinguish knife types before purchasing or learning proper usage. It serves users seeking foundational knowledge about kitchen tools, often during meal prep planning or beginner cooking tutorials.
